Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival
2023-06-28 - 2023-07-02 | Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival, 169 Homan Ln, Centre Hall, PA, 16828
Please contact John 610-360-0696 if you are going so he can tell you where he is camping and you can find each other.
I’m still learning the ropes here. I just submitted a camp out at the Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival, June 28 to July 2, in Centre Hall, PA.
Comments: Near State College, Pa. Five days of Bluegrass, Gospel, and Country music, by some of the best performers. The ‘23 lineup is listed on the website. There will be lots of impromptu “jamming” throughout the park.
1500 camp sites. Popup campers permitted in the large tree shaded tent camping area. Clean restrooms and showers available. Food trucks servicing the festival, and restaurants within 10 miles. Order tickets in advance once the website is up, or pay at the gate for festival admission and campground use. There is plenty of room for whoever shows up to set up camp in an area of our own. I was the only motorcycle tent camper this year, and drew a fair amount of interest as soon as I entered the park.
The only real downside is campfires are not allowed. Firewood adds too much weight to a motorcycle camper anyhow.

There is a concession stand at the pool for your use. You don’t have to pay $5.00 if you don’t want to swim, but do want a concession.
Bathrooms are located near the ballfield and near the pool.
Dogs are not allowed in the park. There was a discussion at the last city council meeting about allowing dogs in parks. It was felt that too many people do not pick up after their dogs so the dog ban was kept in place. Your dog is welcome to stay in the orchard or board at the Yarning Dog Ranch.
Conveniences: All conveniences in Helper.
Where to eat: Balance Rock Eatery, Aunt Nells and Angel’s food truck are the best places to eat! Marsha is in the process of opening a soup kitchen at the Avalon House.
More fun stuff to do: There are great roads to ride and trails to hike. We are looking forward to a local brewery serving Helper Beer and food by next summer. Ghost towns are up Spring Canyon. Some of the art galleries will be open. Be sure to check out 3 on the Tree Gallery. It is full of car and motorcycle paintings by the artist Kate Kilpatrick. The Lincoln Hotel has old Harleys for your to view.

We are working on a shirt design.

The Valley of Fires is a very unique area since the entire camp is literally in the pocket of a lava flow. When the lava was flowing through this area it split and went around a small mound that is in the middle of the campground. The lave rejoined on the south end of the camp leaving this area untouched by the fire. They built a paved loop pathway out into the lava field. There is great night viewing of the stars!

The ‘23 lineup hasn’t been set, but in the past: Remington Ryde, Larry Efaw and Bluegrass Mountaineers, Little Roy and Lizzy Show, Malpass Brothers, Rhonda Vincent, Koby Norris Show and quite a few more. With lots of impromptu “jamming” throughout the park.
1500 camp sites. Popup campers permitted in the large tree shaded tent camping area. Clean restrooms and showers available. Food trucks servicing the festival, and restaurants within 10 miles.

Attractions: Jacob’s Lake is within easy access to many places of interest:

The Grand Canyon North Rim is 44 miles from Jacob Lake, and has the most spectacular views of the Grand Canyon due to its higher elevation and remoteness. There are far fewer people and nearly no tour busses. Viewing sunrise or sunset is a common thing for people to do, but the ride to from Jacob Lake to Point Imperial and Cape Royal alone is worth the trip. For a map, go to https://goo.gl/maps/8VC92SzjzMtfxVu1A.
The Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is only 20 miles from Jacob Lake. The Viewing Area of the California Condor Release Area is only three miles on a gravel road from US-89A and is accessible by motorcycle, however, a dual-sport or adventure bike is highly recommended.
